Article Abstract

The temperature-dependent second threshold criteria for the Nd:YVO/Cr:YAG passively Q-switched (PQS) laser is explored. The emission cross section of the Nd:YVO crystal is found to decrease as temperature elevates, which is feasible to reach the PQS second threshold with a flexible cavity design. We derive theoretical analysis and experimentally verify it by demonstrating the cavity mode size ratio variation between those on the gain medium and the saturable absorber. With the successful demonstration of reaching the second threshold condition by increasing the Nd:YVO temperature, an application of the intracavity stimulated Raman scattering is further explored to show the benefit of this method.

Background: During intense exercise, anaerobic metabolism predominantly produces energy in the body, resulting in lactic acid (LA) accumulation, which contributes to muscle fatigue and soreness and may also impair neurological and cardiovascular functions. In endurance sports, the lactate threshold (LT) is a key indicator of an athlete's capacity to clear and utilize LA, directly influencing athletic performance and endurance. Therefore, LA detection is crucial for assessing the physical condition of both athletes and the general population, as well as for optimizing training programs.

Background: No standardized strategy for integrating κ-free light chain (κ-FLC) index into routine cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) diagnostics has yet been established.

Objective: To determine agreement between κ-FLC index and CSF-restricted oligoclonal bands (OCB), and to identify κ-FLC index range where second-line OCB testing is needed.

Methods: A retrospective analysis was conducted in patients who had κ-FLC measurement between December 2023 and December 2024 at the Medical University of Innsbruck.
